Asparagus with wasabi mayonnaise is a really nice, simple summer appetiser.
It contains so few ingredients – and is so straightforward to make – that it’s more of an idea than an actual recipe.
Asparagus with wasabi mayonnaise
- 1 large bunch thin (or sprue) asparagus
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- a dollop of wasabi – fresh, paste or powder
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- a pinch of sugar
- Steam the asparagus until just tender. Run under cold water, pat dry and chill until needed.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, wasabi, soy sauce and sugar. Adjust the balance of ingredients to suit your taste.
- Arrange the asparagus spears on a plate, and serve with the mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
